REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E
2016 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") of Nutanix, Inc. (the "Registrant") provides that the total number of shares of the Registrant's Class A common stock, $0.000025 par value ("Class A common stock"), reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in the Registrant's fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, by an amount equal to the least of (i) 18,000,000 shares, (ii) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of all classes of the Registrant's common stock as of the last day of the Registrant's immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such other amount as the Administrator (as defined the 2016 Plan) may determine. Accordingly, on August 1, 2024, the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved under the 2016 Plan increased by an additional 13,259,036 shares (or 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of July 31, 2024) (the "Additional Shares").

ITEM 6.INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the general corporation law of the state of Delaware (the "DGCL") and the Registrant's certificate of incorporation as amended to date ("Charter") and the Registrant's Bylaws as amended to date (the "Bylaws").
The Charter provides that a director or officer of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Registrant shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.The Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding in which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a Delaware corporation must indemnify its present or former directors and officers against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred to the extent that the officer or director has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The DGCL generally permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of any action or suit for actions taken in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, which they had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful.
The Registrant is governed by the provisions of the DGCL permitting the Registrant to purchase director's and officer's insurance to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The Registrant has an insurance policy which insures the directors and officers of the Registrant and its subsidiaries against certain liabilities which might be incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. The Registrant also has indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that provide for the maximum indemnification allowed by law.
